Responsive, Compassionate Vet
Highly responsive, compassionate, and knowledgeable vet who provides excellent
care.

Dr. Bruce has been my vet for more than 20 years. That speaks for itself. He is
extremely kind, compassionate, and sensitive to my cats as well as my own
anxiety around having them examined. It can be stressful for me as well knowing
that my cats might be scared. Having Bruce come to my house (as opposed to
having to round up the cats and take them into an office) is valuable to me. It
cuts the stress in half for both myself and my cats. When Bruce comes to my
apartment, he is so patient, gentle, and welcoming to the cats, that they come
to him for their exam. He also takes so much time to explain everything he is
doing and why in a way that someone who is not a doctor completely can
understand. And if you have her pills that they need to be brought into an
office setting , he does not hesitate to recommend that. He has always answered
my calls. If he does not pick up the phone right away, he responds very quickly
(usually within minutes) no matter what time of day or night it is. he really is
an angel and works tirelessly in his mission and obvious calling to provide the
most thorough and loving care to all pets. He is really extraordinary and I
can't say enough good things about Dr. Bruce.

Nearly 3 years ago, the clinic across the street told my partner and I that we
needed to consider euthanizing our 16-year-old cat Evie because of her severe,
intractable constipation. She had hit a crisis point and was barely eating.
Somehow, in my panic, I stumbled across online reviews for Dr. Lowenstein. Thank
goodness I did, because Evie is still living a happy, high-quality life 3 years
later. Dr. Lowenstein is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but more than
anything, he will give as much time as it needs to figure out your pet's
problem. He spent a lot of time on the phone with us at the beginning,
troubleshooting and adjusting Evie's medications. He also explained everything
carefully. The clinic across the street had given us the impression that there
was little room for adjustment on the meds. On the contrary-- there was tons of
room, and Dr. Lowenstein explained in specific detail what dosage was possible
for a cat her size. Ultimately, she just needed time, follow-up, and patience to
sort out the issues that had seemed completely unmanageable. It felt almost
miraculous, but it was just the kind of good old fashioned medicine that you
don't get at vet clinics now. After a couple of years, Evie had another issue
come up. This time, she needed a visit to a specialist. We were worried-- one of
the reasons why we were happy to have Evie seen at home was because she was
utterly terrified by vet visits-- but Dr. Lowenstein was able to send us a
prescription that would help keep her calm for the visit. He also knew the best
person for her to see, and he got us an appointment much more quickly than we
would have been able to on our own. It was an incredibly helpful visit, and with
the knowledge we gained there, we have been able to work with Dr. Lowenstein to
manage this condition as well. I can't believe how much extra time we've gotten
with our beloved girl because of him. She is still full of life and sass and
snuggles at 19. When our 14-year-old kitty Jerry was diagnosed with cancer in
October, we made the difficult decision to let him live out his life at home,
rather than pursue more treatment. We asked Dr. Lowenstein to take over his
care, because we knew he would be invested in making sure Jerry was comfortable
and happy. Jerry was EXTREMELY aggressive when put in a carrier and at the
vet's, so it was a relief to have him seen at home. We came to the end with
Jerry this week. Dr. Lowenstein was incredibly helpful in talking through when
it might be time. He didn't make the decision for us, but he gave us all the
information and things to consider for us to make the decision that we felt was
right. He was especially patient and generous during these hard discussions, and
helped us find clarity in what is a confusing and overwhelming situation. We
were also worried that Jerry, even in a weaker state, might still be aggressive
at the end and not go peacefully. Dr. Lowenstein talked through this with us and
prescribed medication to calm him beforehand. When he came to help Jerry pass,
he took his time to make sure that everything would go smoothly and peacefully,
which it did. Afterward, I had some clay ready to make paw print impressions,
but after struggling for a bit unsuccessfully, I was about to give up. Dr.
Lowenstein offered to help, and even though this isn't something he usually
does, he turned out to be great at that, too. He treated Jerry with dignity and
care, and I feel so at peace with his end. I really can't recommend Dr.
Lowenstein highly enough. He is seasoned and skilled and kind and all kinds of
wonderful things, but most of all, he will truly care about your pet, and he'll
follow through on that to do whatever is needed to be sure that it gets the best
care.

I am outside of Dr. Lowenstein's service area, but despite being outside of his
service area, he stayed on the phone with me asking a multitude of questions
about my dog and giving the best advice that he could. He obviously is a very
caring man and if I lived in his service area, I would be thrilled to have him
as my vet! I want to thank Dr. Lowenstein for taking the time to talk to me and
give me advice as well as a referral to the closest place to take my dog.

Dr. Lowenstein is a patron saint of the animal world. When our cat became ill I
discovered him online and immediately made an appointment. He is the MOST
responsive, kind and knowledgable vet I have ever known. He came to our
apartment several times. He was extremely kind to our 18 year old cat Stuart who
became violently ill when he even saw a carrier. He made his last weeks so
gentle and bearable. Dr. Lowenstein is amazingly responsive, answering my calls,
texts and emails within minutes or hours. His kindness and attentiveness
extended to the most excruciatingly difficult moments at the end of our cat's
life which happened at home, in a place on our couch that Stuart loved. Dr.
Lowenstein made this very difficult moment almost bearable. A million thanks to
this amazingly humane and gifted medical genius.

This review is 5 years late. I called Dr. Lowenstein in late 2017 for help with
my beloved 18-year-cat. Boo was diagnosed with IBD/suspected lymphoma, and her
condition was worsening. She hated going to the vet (or anywhere,) and,
considering the cold weather, I decided no more outside trips. Dr. Lowenstein
came over within 24 hours. In the following 5 months, he went above and beyond
to help her, and I believe his care extended her life. Even if that was only by
months, it truly meant the world to me. And at the end, he was extraordinarily
compassionate and kind. In 20+ years of pet ownership, and visiting maybe a
dozen vets throughout NYC, no one comes close to the level of care he provided.
I really can't recommend him highly enough. I've given his name to anyone who
needs a house call vet. Now that my dog is getting a little more difficult to
care for, I may be calling him again soon.

So much better for my cats! Less stress for them, and Dr Lowenstein treated them
with such care. We recently moved and downsized. One of my cats has been so
stressed she has licked off much of her hair. There is no way she would have
tolerated a visit to an office. Dr. Lowenstein was able to do the labs for both
my cats, discussed treatment options for my cat, and followed up. All at lower
cost somehow than an office visit. My cat, now on Prozac, delivered from a vet
pharmacy, is doing better. So glad I considered a home visit. No going back to
an office for us.

I want to thank Dr. Lowenstein for his care and support over the last two months
with two of my pet cats. I made the difficult decision to euthanize one of those
cats at 18 years old, and Dr. Lowenstein helped me through that process and
decision with care, compassion and attention. My other cat stopped eating for a
handful of days and Dr. Lowenstein was extremely helpful in helping me through
it. Dr. Lowenstein is attentive, available, and is sensitive to cost, which is
extremely difficult to find in veterinary care. I recommend Dr. Lowenstein to
anyone who wants excellent veterinary care delivered on a very personal level.

Dr. Lowenstein treated my difficult cat, CeCe today. It was his first visit to
us. He was excellent and I will be calling him every year from now on. He knew
just how to deal with an uncooperative cat, a skill not prevalent among
veterinarians! He gets my highest accolades!

Dr Lowenstein went above and beyond to help me with my fur baby. It’s hard
enough as a human to move, and I knew it would be stressful on my fur babe. Dr
Lowenstein was able to give her a full examination to ensure she was ready to
fly. My cat tends to be tender and sweet, but nervous - he eased her, and
prepped her for flight which went wonderfully! Now she’s united with me, and we
are thrilled!

Dr. Lowenstein is the absolute best! His expertise and knowledge are
outstanding, not to mention he is incredibly responsive, thoughtful and
empathetic. He truly cares for his patients like they are his own and is one of
the best veterinarians out there. Unfortunately we moved out of state, so we can
no longer use him as our primary vet, but I still contact Dr. Lowenstein
whenever I have any concerns or questions regarding my cat’s health and he is
always super responsive and willing to offer his advice and insight over the
phone and text. I cannot recommend Dr. Lowenstein enough - he is one of a kind!

UPDATE: I recently came across a two star review here that shocked me. I had a
difficult old cat and several of my friends have cats that go on full attack
when they have to go to the vet. Before I met Dr. Lowenstein, it took three
people to hold my cat down at the vet, if you can believe it. Using the cat bag
with difficult cats is standard practice when the vet needs to check the teeth,
etc. Sure, the cat doesn't like it, but that is the only way any vet can check
teeth with a difficult cat. Turned out at one point that my cat had to have
three teeth removed. She had an infection that had been misdiagnosed by other
vets as an ear infection. No animal should be hurt during an exam and no vet
should be hurt either. Dr Lowenstein is such a caring pro that I felt I needed
to respond to that 2 star review.

Bruce Lowenstein brought my cranky old, fighting, ailing cat a year and a half
more of a quality life, when I was sure no more could be done for her--having
been to several vets prior to finding him. He diagnosed her complex illnesses
and adjusted her dosages, and--like a miracle--I got my sweet cat back again.

He checked in with me on his own and, when I called, he returned my calls within
minutes if he was not wrapped up in helping another animal. I almost could not
believe his high level of care and caring until I came to know him better.

When the end was in sight, he took the time to observe my cat carefully and to
discuss ever possible option. When it became clear what had to be done, he gave
me private time to say goodbye and gave her a truly dignified exit from her
suffering.

He then fashioned a cat bed out of a plastic bag and lay her in that bed in the
same comfortable position she was in, telling me that she'd stay in that
position as he took her away. Of course, of course, I was broken-hearted, but I
felt so clearly that I"d given her a good death, a gracious and perfect goodbye.

Dr :Lowenstein called twice to check in on me, and I knew that I'd found one of
those rare human beings with a good heart--just the kind of man you want in a
story like this. He is a man I trust--- he knew what to do for my cat medically,
and he knew what to do for me emotionally. I have nothing but gratitude for him,
and he' ll be taking care of my spunky terrier for years to come.

Dr Lowenstein took care of my two senior cats in my apartment when they were
sick. Dr Lowenstein is very personable and compassionate while speaking with me
about diagnosis and treatment. I have a difficult time when the cats are being
examined and blood is taken because they meow and get mad. Dr Lowenstein handles
the cats with care and puts them in a jacket so they cannot scratch, then they
calm down as they seem to know no one is there to harm them,. Dr Lowenstein is
really gentle and treats the cats so well. The cats always react positively to
any meds and Dr Lowenstein shows me exactly how to administer them via ears or
mouth. I am so glad he takes care of our cats.

It’s hard enough to find a doctor I like, but when it comes to my cat, I’m
really particular. After a lifetime with cats, it finally dawned on me that a
vet who makes housecalls is a great thing. . It’s bad enough when the cat is
sick…they really hate it being put in a cage and schlepped to a strange
environment to be examined and treated. So it was great not only to find a vet
who makes housecalls, but he’s a really, really good one.

The first thing I noticed about Dr. Lowenstein, years ago, was his immediate
focus on gaining my cat’s trust…while taking in my reasons for being concerned
about the cat…eyeballing Bernadette was just as important as anything I said.
The news wasn’t good. Bernadette’s kidneys were failing.. Dr. Lowenstein showed
me how to keep Bernadette comfortable…how to give her intravenous fluids….and
down the road, when the time came, Dr. Lowenstein came over….went to the spot
where she was breathing hard..and gently gave her a shot..and peace. And then,
Dr Lowenstein stayed until I was okay… and he also helped me with final
arrangements. Yes, Bernadette died at home, in familiar surroundings…with a
gentle pinch…from a vet she was familiar with.

I will never forget the contrast between the way Bernadette left me, to the
horror of Felix…a cat I rushed to the traditional vet practice when he suddenly
stopped eating and drinking. If only I’d thought to call Dr. Lowenstein for a
house call instead. Felix’s last hours and days were a nightmare of shuttling to
and from the vet office…and final advice from the vet office to rush him to
Animal Medical Center across town..only prolonged Felix’s suffering…He needed to
be euthanized there….in a strange place…with unfamiliar people all around.

I don’t care how much equipment they have at a vet’s office, it just doesn’t
compare to a vet who’s willing to come to your house…to your pet…and who knows
what he’s doing…and brings all the essentials with him…just like doctors used to
do…when they made housecalls.

My current cat, Javert, is of ACC vintage and unknown origins. And Dr.
Loweinstein is Javert’s doctor. ( I learned my lesson with Felix)

Dr. Lowenstein comes prepared…up to and including.. a soft enclosure to keep the
cat secure and calm…and not a tangle of claws and teeth.

He’s not in a rush. He’s not just examining Javert..he’s taking the time to
observe his moves and behavior….because, of course, his patient can’t tell him
what’s bothering him. So, Dr. Loweinstein will watch..and wait..and examine..and
test..until he has the answer.

It’s a real contrast to the “business model” vet practices that are opening up
all around town.

Being a shelter cat, it’s not surprising that Javert has a problem with ear
infections. Dr. Loweinstein prescribed 2 meds…showed me how to give them…and
called…several times over in the coming days..to ask how things were going.
He told me to watch for a recurrence…and kept checking in regularly.

Months later, when the problem recurred…and I ran out of the meds…Dr. Lowenstein
immediately put in a call to the pharmacy..and made sure they rushed it
over…before Javert missed a dose. I’m pretty sure it would have taken longer if
I’d gone to a vet practice.

Javert is a happy, healthy cat…going into his second year with me…and with Dr.
Lowenstein on call, I rest easy.

It’s just a great thing to have a vet who makes housecalls…but one this good is
priceless ( though his fees are well within reason)

Bruce has been our Veterinarian for over two years. Having him as our pup’s
healthcare provider has been so beneficial and has helped us avoid so much
stress. He keeps diligent records of her vaccinations, any health issues she’s
experienced, and her diet. He is thorough, a great communicator, and has always
been on time to every at-home appointment. We are so grateful to have Bruce,
someone who actually cares, always available for the health of our amazing
little pup. Thanks Bruce!

In the beginning of the pandemic, when the city had completely shut down, my cat
swallowed yarn. It was very late, and none of the vet offices were open or were
calling me back. Dr. Lowenstein was the exception. Though my cat wasn’t his
patient, he called me back, listened patiently, explained exactly what was
happening, and stayed on the phone with me until I understood, in no uncertain
terms, that I needed to take her to the hospital that night. He asked only for
an update in return. I took my cat to the hospital he recommended and she had an
operation in the middle of the night. I am forever grateful to Dr. Lowenstein
for his compassion and for saving my cat’s life!

We recently had a very scary experience with our dog during the weekend. While
searching for emergency vets in the city I came across Dr. Lowenstein’s page. He
had such amazing reviews, I decided to contact him and I have to say that was
the best decision I could have possibly made. I am still blown away by how
amazing and incredible Dr. Lowenstein is. I have never seen such
professionalism, compassion, genuine concern, care, and commitment to care for a
patient the way Dr. Lowenstein cared for my puppy. It was truly refreshing to
have a veterinarian who was so concerned, patient and willing to take the time
to listen and explore ways to make him better without rushing or being
dismissive of my concerns. He truly went above and beyond before he even arrived
at my apartment, the actual visit was excellent, and the follow up was so
thorough. I have never had such a thorough follow up with any healthcare
professional the way Dr. Lowenstein followed up on my dog and not just that, he
didn’t just dismiss us, he continued to check up on my puppy until we found a
treatment that worked. I have only incredible things to say about this
veterinarian. I recommend him to everyone, I’m so grateful for him!!!

Addendum, written on August 23, 2020.
I am making an addendum to my one-year old review, because unfortunately Google
does not let me write a second review.

It is so rare to meet a professional with such strong work ethic, accompanied by
the the kindest and most empathetic heart. Dr. Lowenstein is one of a kind. He
will always return your calls pretty much immediately, even if he is out of
town. He will always listen and then give you options, and of course your pet
won't have to be stressed by a visit to the vet, because the vet comes to your
pet.

I recently had a cat with complicated issues, and I don't know how I would have
gone through it, without his help, and his guidance. Knowing that Dr. Lowenstein
is always only a phone call away gives you such peace of mind, in times that are
emotionally very difficult for a pet parent when the health of their friend is
deteriorating. I have never experienced this quality of care anywhere. This is
precious and priceless for a pet parent.
So thank you Dr. L. for once again, showing expert professionalism, together
with a generosity of heart and time.

Original post from 2019:
Dr Lowenstein is the best! He was with me all the way, with great advice and
support when my cat friend was diagnosed with cancer. He was able to access his
medical record from the AMC almost immediately and provide hospice care
(including getting meds delivered quickly) until the decision had to be made to
euthanize.
Dr Bruce is providing care to the animal with the utmost kindness, patience and
a loving heart. He is generous with his time, and professional expertise.
He is a rare breed, a truly compassionate human being whom i wholeheartedly
recommend, as you will get the best care possible for your pet.

There is no other veterinarian we will go to other than Dr. Bruce Lowenstein.
He’s been our primary vet since 2006 to our then dog, Cookie, and our two cats,
Orange and Grey, when they were alive. He is still our current vet to our three
cats (Cal, Misty & Tux) and dog Baci.

When Cookie suffered from her debilitating knees and now that Cal is suffering
from weight loss with intestinal issues, Bruce is completely thorough from
examining to diagnosing them. Cal is doing much better now due to Bruce’s
prescribed medicines and care. There is an amazing level of comfort to how
knowledgable he is with the latest technologies in medicine and care.

Aside from the excellent medical part of our relationship, he and his great
sense of humor has definitely been a part of our family for 15 years.

Dr. Lowenstein is a wonderful, caring and compassionate vet. Having him come to
my apartment to examine my cat was the best decision I have made in a long time.
He took the time to get a detailed description of my cats issues before taking
him into the bathroom to complete a thorough exam including taking blood. At my
previous vet, I could hear my cat hissing and crying from the waiting room but
not this time! Well worth the additional cost which is still very reasonable for
NYC. Highly recommend!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have Dr. Lowenstein as our
veterinarian. He has been the most gracious, compassionate and thorough doctor I
have ever experienced in my 14 years of being a dog mom. Our senior lab loves
him so much and I can tell Dr. Lowenstein reciprocates the affection right back
at him!
I called Dr. Lowenstein after not seeing him for about seven years (moved out of
New York City) for a minor emergency with DJ and not only did Dr. Lowenstein
remember, but he came on the same day which I know was an absolute squeeze for
his schedule.
Hands-down the best veterinarian New York City has to offer and it's just icing
on the cake that he's a really cool and awesome guy! Thank you so much!

Dr. Lowenstein is such a thoughtful vet. When I was blindsided by my 16-year-old
kitty's very rapid decline that horrible night (Friday night of a holiday
weekend, no less) I was distraught. Bruce was an A+ partner...he called ahead to
an emergency hospital and told me where to go and who to ask for, as they were
expecting me. That he helped me navigate a very difficult process really meant a
lot, and for that I am grateful. Thanks Bruce!

Dr Lowenstein has been my vet since 2009. Prior to finding him I bounced around
from vet to vet, questioning the decisions and prices I paid. Most vets pass you
along to the techs and don't answer many questions. Dr. Lowenstein explains the
diagnosis and the pros and cons of the treatments and the costs. I'm always
grateful for his patience, guidance and attention. He is truly a kind soul and
cares about my pets. His prices are incredibly reasonable considering the
service he offers. For many New Yorkers are pets are our families, and its a
jungle of greedy vets out there!

As an example, my cat named Fuzz Buzz always had an issue that no vet could
figure out. I met Dr. Lowenstein when Fuzz Buzz was about 8 years old. Fuzz had
a funny walk, as if his hide legs were riding a bicycle. He got around ok but
always lifted his hind legs extra high. Three vets in upper manhattan could
never diagnosed his condition.

Finally I decided it was a good idea to give a house call vet a try.
Carrying FuzzBuzz and my other cat Bird, was a handful for any taxi trip and
then I found Dr. Lowenstein.

Luckily Dr. Lowenstein's first visit was more economical and more comfortable
than the nerve racking visits to the veterinarian clinic. After 8 years of
wondering what was wrong with Fuzz Buzz, Dr Lowenstein diagnosed him with
cerebellar dysplasia, a neurological disorder that can't be cured. It was a
relief to finally understand his condition and to know I had done my best to
help him.

Today, my other cat, Bird is 22 years old!! thanks to Dr. Lowenstein!! Who
monitors Bird's heath closely. Bird has many common problems geriatric cats
have. He now weighs 8 lbs, has high thyroid levels, kidney disease, and
inflammatory bowel. He takes 2 medicines, food enzymes and extra fiber in his
diet. Dr Lowenstein texts and calls me to see how Bird is doing often. Having an
older cat with so many issues can be scary. Its a comfort to know Dr. Lowenstein
is just a call away!

Dr. Lowenstein is an absolutely wonderful vet and I recommend him without
reservation. After a visit to another vet, our cat remained in critical
condition and we thought she wasn't going to make it. At the recommendation of a
friend, I contacted Dr. Lowenstein and he calmly and clearly explained how we
could stabilize her condition so we had time to decide what to do next. I
believe his advice saved her life. In the following days, Dr. Lowenstein
followed up multiple times and answered all of my questions. It is clear that he
cares about his patients more than lining his pockets. If you are looking for a
knowledgeable, kind, and caring vet, you will find him in Dr. Lowenstein.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Previous

“…What was so unique and priceless – – in a city where everybody is so busy – –
is that Dr. Lowenstein was in no hurry. He genuinely wanted to help, he cared.
And this, to a pet owner is invaluable.”

MICHELLE B.

“…Dr. Bruce is a true gem, a doctor who obviously treats the pet for the pets
sake, not to line his pockets with cash…dr. Bruce is available 24/7, something I
wish all doctors would do! And he spends time with me and my pet, more time than
any other “traditional office vet” ever has. He is methodical in examining Livvy
all while talking to her sweetly through the process (as if she understands, and
maybe she does?), and then explaining to me, in detail what is going on, how
she’s doing, what needs to be done and when I will receive test results. He
promptly returns calls, answers questions and is absolutely trustworthy… I
seriously doubt Olivia would be alive today if not for Dr. Bruce and his amazing
ability to diagnose and treat her rather complicated condition with accuracy and
compassion.”

DIANE S.

Not only does he understand your pet, Dr. Lowenstein understands you. My cat
never was happy about vet trips and over the years I grew less impressed with
who had been a very good vet at one time. I felt I was not being heard and as a
result, lack of addressing my concerns ended up adversely affecting my cat’s
health. Now with Dr. Lowenstein, I can have a real conversation about my cat and
he does not treat anything slightly. Since seeing Dr. Lowenstein in early
summer, I feel my 14-1/2 year old kitty is back on a better path without
receiving a blanket diagnosis because one size truly does not fit all pets, and
getting the right tests done to rule things out is helpful. The dr is available
by text and phone and is always ready to help. He is really dedicated to animals
and it shows. After having a few visits to my other vet this year, the cost is
probably not all that much more (by Manhattan standards) and having a pet seen
in the comfort of his/her home sans cabs or transportation can’t be beat.
Looking forward to our follow up appointment next month.

CARI B.

When I called to talk to Bruce, my cat was critical, he needed a kitty ER stat
and Dr. Bruce calmly explained how urgent it was. He had never even met us yet!…
I was reticent to go down the path I had with another elderly cat, one where vet
after vet urged me to force care on an animal that should’ve been put down at an
earlier time. Dr. Bruce understood my fears, but also spent TIME to discuss with
me how I could find out if this was something I could humanely treat…Once
reassured…. we forged ahead…. I had nearly gave up on my cat! Dr. Bruce sensibly
and rationally addressed my concerns and fears while getting Reggie what he
needed. Reggie is now thriving. I cannot thank Dr. Bruce enough for bringing the
sanity and compassion back to veterinary care for pets and owners alike.

KIM L.

Dr. Bruce is the best vet I have found in my 16 years of living in New York
City… he is excellent at explaining all the options without losing his patience.
This is a great quality since it is confusing and scary to make decisions with
our pets health. He also pays close attention to your budget and explaining what
would be your best option….. rides to the vet were always so stressful I feel
that we save time and money and get better care in our home environment.

JENNIFER O.

Dr. Lowenstein told me that Mittens was in heart failure. She was critical and
needed to go into the hospital or she would pass away… I was not in a financial
position to take her to the hospital, my other choice would be to help her pass
peacefully. He then explained that we might be able to help her at home and I
agreed as he went into critical care emergency mode. Dr. Lowenstein made one
call and had an echo (sonogram) done within 90 minutes at my apartment. Once it
was confirmed that she was in heart failure, he was so impressive, removing the
fluid from her chest and abdomen and allowing her to breath easily again. He
spent 6 hours working to save Mittens life. I have never met another doctor who
would even think to spend that kind of time to save my cat and he did! 4 months
later and Mittens is now sitting on my lap as I write this review….

LISA M.

My husband and I were initially referred to Dr. Lowenstein after our 14-year-old
dog had a seizure and was subsequently mishandled by a leading Upper Eastside
veterinary hospital, causing severe cervical spine complications. We took our
dog to yet other well-known UES hospital but their treatment failed, as well….
vet hospital referred us to Dr. Bruce Lowenstein who they said is an excellent
emergency medicine…who makes house calls 24/7. Excellent he was…. he immediately
went into emergency mode, showing my husband, a physician, where to deliver
steroid injections and showing me how to hydrate the dog gently from the
syringe. Within about 20 minutes our dog was drinking water. He lived another
two years and in good health under the medical supervision of Dr. Lowenstein.…
Dr. Lowenstein is also a superb diagnostician. He suspected that our second
champion had Cushing’s disease even though he tested negative for it. Years
later, it turned out that he was right.”

ZOE G.

… dr. Bruce has walked me through everything I need to know about how to take
the best care of my boy Leo and we could not be more pleased to be in his care.
Dr. Bruce is a gem and service like this is not easy to find.
